I find alot of projects get put on the back burner and intrest is lost and are sold off. All the cruise nites kick off next month it would be a shame not to enjoy it before tearing it apart. Now if i can only follow my own advice....i tear everything apart as soon as i get my hands on it!
Thanks bro! I have thought about using another frame and I happen to have one lying around. I guess it must be the tiny bit of purist in me but I prefer to keep the frame with its original cab and such. That way the numbers on the title, VIN tag, SPID, and frame all match. As far as the cruise nights go, I'm not really interested in taking to any at this point. Honestly, I don't find it enjoyable to drive. The carb needs work the gauge panel lights are possessed, which bugs the crap out of me. I have a couple of small projects to keep me busy while I'm waiting for the rest of the PB kit to arrive. I am also lucky enough to have Hart_Rod just up the road so I can hitch a ride with him. I appreciate the advice and look forward to seeing what you bring to Cruisin’ the Coast this year.
